The male nerd interest quotient just shot way up for Legend of the Seeker.

Actress Jolene Blalock (Vulcan T'Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise) is joining the cast of the New Zealand-based, Disney produced fantasy series as a recurring villain. According to a Disney press release, Blalock begins filming this week as "a mysterious Sister of the Dark who possesses very powerful magic."

It'll help you a lot to understand this next but if you're a fan of the show, but Blalock will not only threaten heroic Richard (Craig Horner) and "his quest to defeat evil forces," but her real goal is to destroy the lovely female lead, Kahlan (Bridget Regan).

Blalock was Enterprise's Vulcan version of Seven of Nine -- the impossibly hot, yet emotionally cool on board brainiac who destroys morale by refusing to mess around with pretty much anybody on board. Gone were the Star Trek glory days of Captain Kirk scoring with hot girls all over the ship. After Enterprise, she appeared on Stargate SG-1, CSI, JAG and Veronica's Closet.

Based on author Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth book series, the second season of Legend of the Seeker will premiere the week of November 7.

And, fans should keep a look-out for the "Complete First Season" on DVD. It just hit stores yesterday
